Language Variants

If a resource has multiple language variants and the difference between variants is only in the language of human-readable fields, then the Accept-Language request HTTP header SHOULD be used to select the desired language variant.

Example

Language or Country-specific Data Structure

If the difference between language or country specific variants of a resource is bigger than just in the content of human readable strings, for example, the data structure of the resource representation is different, then a query parameter SHOULD be used to communicate the requested variant.
